The Hidden Loyalty to Sadness: Why We Choose Misery Over Joy and How to Finally Bear Hope
Published 3 months, 1 week ago
Description
Reflects on the rare yet powerful moments when people sense the possibility of being genuinely happy, contrasting them with the widespread belief that life must be endured through constant hardship and caution. It challenges the pessimistic conviction that suffering is an unavoidable necessity, suggesting instead that many of us carry a distorted psychology shaped in childhood, where we were unconsciously trained to equate safety with gloom, worry, or restraint. As adults, this coaching often leaves us loyal to sadness, suspicious of joy, and reluctant to pursue deeper fulfillment. The text ultimately invites a bold reframe: to ask whether we might move beyond these inherited patterns and imagine that our purpose is not to suffer, but to allow ourselves richer hope, more satisfying relationships, and the courage to embrace happiness.
